Welcome to DoorScope, the free DOORS and ReqIF viewer!

This is the official website of DoorScope.
DoorScope is a software application which can be used in the
specification review process. Specifications can be exported from
IBM DOORS® and viewed with links, object attributes and change history
(including tables, images and richtext). Objects can be annotated
and marked with their review status. There is also a fulltext
search and scripting facility. DoorScope is a single executable
and runs natively on Windows without installation. The source code is available under GPL
or - on request - under user-specific licences.

Note that DoorScope is now also able to read OMG ReqIF 1.1 format files!

Downloads

DoorScope is deployed as compressed single-file
executables for Windows 9x/2k/XP/Vista/7. Download the ZIP/GZ file
and uncompress it. The resulting executable can be run without any
installations or administrator privileges.

Viewer:

NOTE: in principle DoorScope would also run
natively on Macintosh OS X and Linux, but this would require some
additional test and adaptation effort; if you're interested send
me an email; if there are enough people interested in Linux and OS
X versions, the effort might be justified; or try it yourself; of course DoorScope perfectly
runs with Wine or
WineBottler on Linux or OS X.

Extractor:

The ZIP also includes the DXL script to be run
from within DOORS. If you run the script in a module viewer then
the current module is sent to DoorScopeETL. If you run the script
in the DOORS explorer, all formal modules of the currently
selected folder and its subfolders are transmitted. If
DoorScopeETL is not running, or the port numbers do not
correspond, you get an error. DoorScopeETL writes the modules to
DSDX streams located in the selected output directory. These
streams can then be deployed and imported in a DoorScope
repository (DSDB).
